For me, a list should just hold ‘dumb’ items where the kinds of actions you can do are limited to e.g. a simple context menu. Otherwise if you need complex actions or multiple nested widgets et cetera, the ListModel implementation and API will become too complicated.
I instead think that what you want is something that should be taken care of by dynamic spec: (1) you make a ComposableModel subclass that holds all the widgets for one item of your list, (2) you make your own ‘list widget’ that uses dynamic spec to dynamically add/remove instances of (1) in a one column layout. Note that I have never tried this. As far as I understand, this should mostly work. When there will be a need for a vertical scrollbar I don’t think it will appear. If this is the case, dynamic spec should be extended with this support. I think that in general, dynamic spec and layouting of widgets could benefit of some work. But this is a complex topic and I do not have the time to tackle it, sadly. > On Mar 2, 2016, at 17:44, Julien Delplanque <jul...@tamere.eu> wrote: > > This: [1] is what I would like to do. > I found it in an old thread: [2] but it is a prototype.
